AYoung Brute FoiIed.

PERU, April 10.-A brutal outrage is re.
ported from the northeast part of Wabash
County. Ella, the eleven-year-eldd daughter
of George Elliott, who lives near Seryia,
had taken her fathers dinner to the village,
where he was employed, and was lightly
tripping home when she met lad of her
acquaintance named Robert Derf. The
young man made insulting proposals,
which were repulsed, when Derf threw the
girl to the ground and attempted to accom-
plish his infamous designs. She made q
determined resistance, and the little ones
clothes were nearly torn off in the struggle,
while her body was considerably marked.
Her screams brought assistance, and DeTf
fed. He was found few hours later and
arrested. The feeling against tie brute is

crowded with the many trunks and stolen
goods, all of which have been labeled as
from whom taken, the date and condi-
tions. They will all be carefully guarded,
to be used as evidence against the men.
The goods are valued at several thousand
dollars, which may be greatly increased by
the contents of the dozen or more trunks
which have not yet been opened.
At the jail all was quiet, and no more
prisoners were expected tonight. 1t is
understood that no more arrests will be
made here. In fact Detective Rue said
they had all the men they wanted, except
a few no longer connected with the Pan
Handle road, who are located and will be
arrested within the next few days.

General Conference of the Mormon Churcl
Yesterday.


Provo, Utah, April Sat general con-
ference of the Mormon Church to day
epistles were read from Presidents Taylor,
Cannon and Smith, of the first presidency
of the church. 1t congratulates the people
upon the peace and prosperity that is
attending them, and of the Increased
growth of Mormonism, Notwithstanding
the efforts OF its enemies to the contrary
exhorts them to be vigorous observerssof
the duties and stand true to the principles
espoused from the organization of the
church and the various agencies employed
to effect its overthrow. Falsehood,
violence have tried in vain,
in the form of legislative tyrrany carriasl
on by cunning adventures and reckless ia
natics. Referring to the Edmunds law of
1882, it says the ground taken by its pro-
moters was that the violation of the sound

ton itself, both praiseworthy and justi6able
If necessary, TO take the political rule of
Utah away from the Mormon majority
and give it to an anti Mormon majority,
and, having so acted in the past. it is not
unexpected that other more outrageous at
ttmpts will be made to accomplish the
purpose. Their success in securing the pas.
sage of the Edmunds law emboldened them
to make the most extraordinary demands
for further legislation.
1t says in regard to the Edmunds-Tucker
law: 1t is generally considered that no
such law was ever enacted in this country
before, and its parallel is only found in
medieval times, when mems ideas were
confined to such grants as despotic govern
ments chose TO give them. The whole bill
betrays an attempt to pave the way of the
domination of the majority by the mi
nority, because the majority is composed
of members who are unpopular, on the

Indians Claim Title to a Large Tract of
Land In New York.

BUFFALO, April 1.-THE suit of the
Seneca Nation of Indians against Harrison
B. Cbristre, OF Brant, Erie County, was be-
fore Judge Childs IN the Supreme Court
today. The Indians claim title to about
$50, 600 acres Of land in Erie and adjoining
counties on the ground that the treaty of
1926 was not ratified by the United States
Senate, in accordance with the provisions
of the Constitution, and that, therefore.
the present owners of the land have not
good title to that which they hold.
Further, that inssmuch as they are
treated as wards of the nation, the time
which has elapsed is no bar to action.
Judge Childs said he recognized the great
importance of the suit, and that, inasmuch
as II would have to be taken to the highest
court in the land for final determination,
he thought it best to save time by direct
ing a judgment in favor of the defendants
General Strong, for the plaintiffs conceded
that speedy course through the courts
would be best, as the farmers are very
much agitated over the suit.

TERRIBLE SHIPwREcK.-A terrible ship
wreck, accompanied by the loss of thirty
three lives, took place off the coast of Ore.
gon, about thirty miles north Of Cape Flat
terry, during the early part of this month.
For some time past considerable anxiety
had been felt regarding the schooner Active,
having on board five Swedes and twenty
Clayaquete Indians, and which was long
overdue. The schooner was owned by Gutt-
man & Co., OF Victoria, 8. c., and was regis
tered at 420 tons. Last week Mr.. Frank,
one OF the owners, went up the west coast
on the government steamer Sir James Doug
las in search of news of the missing vessel,
but has not yet returned. The Active was
engaged in general coast trade. and had q
valuable cargo of assorted merchandise on
board, which, however, was not insured.
The schooner appears to have been caught
in storm which ragged during the early
part of the month and to have been dashed
on shore, where she speedily went to pieces,
all hands undoubtedly perishing.

whether or not the defendant practiced

is guilty in manner and form as she stands
